SPECIES: The Habibat box is suitable for species that are most commonly found roosting in buildings in the UK, such as Pipistrelle, Natterer's, Whiskered, and Brandt's bats.
SITING: Habibat should be located where it will receive the maximum amount of sunlight. In the northern hemisphere, this will be the southerly aspects/orientation (south, south-west and south-east).
Position Habibat a minimum of 2 metres but preferably 5 to 7 metres above the ground. Avoid placement above windows, doors and wall climbing plants, thereby reducing the likelihood of predation by cats. A position near the eaves or gable apex of the property would be preferable.
To make Habibat a potential roost for a wider range of bat species, it is helpful to consider whether there are nearby linear vegetation features such as hedges and treelines. This is because some bat species use these features for navigation between their roosting site and feeding ground and to avoid flying in open and exposed areas.
